cybersecurity initiatives; (2) a status
update on the NSTAC Principles for
Baseline Security Offerings from Cloud
Service Providers Study; and (3) a status
update on the National Preparedness for
Post-Quantum Cryptography Study.
The committee will also meet in a
closed session from 1:00 to 2:45 p.m.
EST during which time: (1) senior
government intelligence officials will
provide a threat briefing concerning
threats to NS/EP communications; and
(2) NSTAC members and government
officials will discuss potential future
NSTAC study topics.
Basis for Closure: In accordance with
section 1009(d) of FACA; and sections
552b(c)(1) and 552b(c)(9)(B) of The
Government in the Sunshine Act
(Sunshine Act), 5 U.S.C. 552b; it has
been determined that a portion of the
agenda requires closure.
These agenda items are the: (1)
classified threat briefing, which will
provide NSTAC members the
opportunity to discuss information
concerning threats to NS/EP
communications with senior
government intelligence officials; and
(2) potential future NSTAC study topic
discussion. The threat briefing will be
classified at the top secret/sensitive
compartmented information level.
Disclosure of these threats during the
briefing, as well as vulnerabilities and
mitigation techniques, is a risk to the
Nation’s cybersecurity posture because
adversaries could use this information
to compromise commercial and
government networks. Subjects
addressed during the discussion are
tentative and are under further
consideration by the committee.
Therefore, this portion of the meeting
has been closed pursuant to section
1009(d) of FACA, and sections
552b(c)(1) and 552b(c)(9)(B) of the
Sunshine Act, because it will disclose
matters that are classified and be likely
to significantly frustrate implementation
of one or more proposed agency actions.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
SUMMARY:
Comments Invited
In accordance with the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501
et seq.), an agency may not conduct or
sponsor, and a person is not required to
respond to, a collection of information
unless it displays a valid OMB control
number. The ICR documentation will be
available at https://www.reginfo.gov
upon its submission to OMB. Therefore,
in preparation for OMB review and
approval of the following information
collection, TSA is soliciting comments
to—
(1) Evaluate whether the proposed
information requirement is necessary for
the proper performance of the functions
of the agency, including whether the
information will have practical utility;
(2) Evaluate the accuracy of the
agency’s estimate of the burden;
(3) Enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be

Information Collection Requirement
OMB Control Number 1652–0068;
Security Appointment Center (SAC)
Visitor Request Form and Foreign
National Vetting Request. The Secretary
of the Department of Homeland Security
(DHS) is required to protect property
owned, occupied, or secured by the
Federal Government. See 40 U.S.C.
1315; see also 41 CFR 102–81.15
(requires Executive agencies to be
responsible for maintaining security at
their own or leased facilities). To
implement this requirement, DHS
policy requires all visitors to DHS
facilities in the NCR 1 to have a criminal
history records check through the
National Crime Information Center
system before accessing the facility.
TSA has established a visitor
management process that meets DHS
requirements. This process allows TSA
to conduct business with visitors,
including other Federal employees and
contract employees, while managing
risks posed by individuals entering the
building who have not been subject to
a full employee security background
check. Once an individual’s access is
approved, TSA’s Visitor Management
System generates temporary badges that
visitors must wear when entering TSA
facilities in the NCR. This badge must
be clearly visible for the duration of the
individual’s visit.
Visitors seeking to enter TSA facilities
must also have a TSA-Federal employee
as their host, and the host must
complete the electronic TSA Form 2802,
Security Appointment Center (SAC)
Visitor Request Form. TSA Form 2802
requires that the Federal host employee
provide the visitor’s first and last name,
date of birth, date and time of visit,
visitor type (e.g., DHS or other
government visitor, non-government
individual), and whether the visitor is a
foreign national visitor.2 Although TSA
requests the visitor to provide their
social security number (SSN), the visitor
is not required to provide this
information. When provided, TSA uses
the SSN to expedite vetting and to
1 TSA facilities in the NCR include TSA
Headquarters, the Freedom Center, the
Transportation Security Integration Facility, and the
Annapolis Junction facility.

enhance the accuracy in the
identification of the visitor.
TSA uses the vetting results to
determine the suitability of an
individual requesting access to the TSA
NCR, including whether the individual
has a criminal history that would
warrant further investigation and review
before TSA grants access to the facility.
In reviewing the National Crime
Information Center vetting results, TSA
will consider whether an individual
could potentially pose a threat to the
safety of TSA employees, contractors,
visitors, or the facility. TSA also uses
the information to maintain records of
access to TSA facilities.
TSA previously used TSA Form
2816A, Foreign National Visitor
Request—Individual to collect
information for individual foreign
national visitors and for groups
consisting of two or more foreign
nationals, TSA Form 2816B, Foreign
National Visitor Request—Group.
TSA is revising the collection to
remove TSA Form 2816A and transition
TSA Form 2816B to a web form using
SharePoint. This transition will help
reduce user burden by incorporating
system-populated fields and automatic
submissions.
TSA estimates the average annual
number of visitors to be 39,213, with an
annual time burden to the public of 300
hours.

Therapy (FCCPT) to issue such
certificates. In addition, DHS
regulations list CGFNS as authorized to
issue alternative certified statements
under INA section 212(r), 8 U.S.C.
1182(r). See 8 CFR 212.15(h).1 DHS
regulations also establish detailed
standards for the approval of additional
credentialing organizations after
consultation with the Secretary of
Health and Human Services, and USCIS
has created an adjudicatory framework
for the filing and adjudication of those
applications using Form I–905,
Application for Authorization to Issue
Certification for Health Care Workers. 8
CFR 212.15(j) and (k). The regulations
also provide for periodic review and, if
necessary, termination of credentialing
organizations. 8 CFR 212.15(l) and (m).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Comments Invited
In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C.
3501 et seq.), an agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is
not required to respond to, a collection of information unless it
displays a valid OMB control number. The ICR documentation will be
available at https://www.reginfo.gov upon its submission to OMB.
Therefore, in preparation for OMB review and approval of the following
information collection, TSA is soliciting comments to--
(1) Evaluate whether the proposed information requirement is
necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the agency,
including whether the information will have practical utility;
(2) Evaluate the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden;
(3) Enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to
be collected; and
(4) Minimize the burden of the collection of information on those
who are to respond, including using appropriate automated, electronic,
mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or other forms
of information technology.
Information Collection Requirement
OMB Control Number 1652-0068; Security Appointment Center (SAC)
Visitor Request Form and Foreign National Vetting Request. The
Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is required to
protect property owned, occupied, or secured by the Federal Government.
See 40 U.S.C. 1315; see also 41 CFR 102-81.15 (requires Executive
agencies to be responsible for maintaining security at their own or
leased facilities). To implement this requirement, DHS policy requires
all visitors to DHS facilities in the NCR \1\ to have a criminal
history records check through the National Crime Information Center
system before accessing the facility.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ TSA facilities in the NCR include TSA Headquarters, the
Freedom Center, the Transportation Security Integration Facility,
and the Annapolis Junction facility.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
TSA has established a visitor management process that meets DHS
requirements. This process allows TSA to conduct business with
visitors, including other Federal employees and contract employees,
while managing risks posed by individuals entering the building who
have not been subject to a full employee security background check.
Once an individual's access is approved, TSA's Visitor Management
System generates temporary badges that visitors must wear when entering
TSA facilities in the NCR. This badge must be clearly visible for the
duration of the individual's visit.
Visitors seeking to enter TSA facilities must also have a TSA-
Federal employee as their host, and the host must complete the
electronic TSA Form 2802, Security Appointment Center (SAC) Visitor
Request Form. TSA Form 2802 requires that the Federal host employee
provide the visitor's first and last name, date of birth, date and time
of visit, visitor type (e.g., DHS or other government visitor, non-
government individual), and whether the visitor is a foreign national
visitor.\2\ Although TSA requests the visitor to provide their social
security number (SSN), the visitor is not required to provide this
information. When provided, TSA uses the SSN to expedite vetting and to
[[Page 85229]]
enhance the accuracy in the identification of the visitor.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\2\ A person who is not a citizen of the United States.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
TSA uses the vetting results to determine the suitability of an
individual requesting access to the TSA NCR, including whether the
individual has a criminal history that would warrant further
investigation and review before TSA grants access to the facility. In
reviewing the National Crime Information Center vetting results, TSA
will consider whether an individual could potentially pose a threat to
the safety of TSA employees, contractors, visitors, or the facility.
TSA also uses the information to maintain records of access to TSA
facilities.
TSA previously used TSA Form 2816A, Foreign National Visitor
Request--Individual to collect information for individual foreign
national visitors and for groups consisting of two or more foreign
nationals, TSA Form 2816B, Foreign National Visitor Request--Group.
TSA is revising the collection to remove TSA Form 2816A and
transition TSA Form 2816B to a web form using SharePoint. This
transition will help reduce user burden by incorporating system-
populated fields and automatic submissions.
TSA estimates the average annual number of visitors to be 39,213,
with an annual time burden to the public of 300 hours.
